I got in touch with my recruiter finally. He didn't tell me anything new, except one thing:
You HAVE to have some flight experience in order to get a Navy Pilot slot. Basically he said that is currently the requirement. Is this true?
If so, how much flight experience are they looking for? My recruiter said they didn't tell him how much, just that the applicants had to have flight experience. I can get my private pilot license by the end of August (which is when my eyes will be healed after I get PRK), and this is when I'll be applying for a pilot slot in BDCP. Will this private pilot license be enough flight time?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
